First time Z owner

ct2012 · 09-21-2016, 06:04 PM

Hi everyone, recently purchased (cough was allowed by the wife to purchase cough) my first Z, a 2016 Sport Tech. Since this is the first sports car I've owned, I decided to go with the low-visibility red (she hates the color, which means more driving time for me...).

It's been QUITE an upgrade from the 2011 Jeep Patriot I owned previously, but I fell in love with the Z the first time I stepped on the pedal. It's my daily driver at the moment and makes me look forward to my commute every day.

Congrats and welcome!

The Z is definitely a great car

Welcome & hello,
I can't imagine having to share seat time w/ me wife.
Love the low profile red color you chose, nothing like a hot girl in a red Z

Welcome!, I'm 5 years and over 60k in and still enjoy getting into her every morning. Time to think about upgrades! My wife acted like I was insane when I started changing stuff on mine. Now she just ignores me when I have her on jacks. Get ready to hear, "you spend more time with her than you do with me".

Agreed - I loved watching her drive it but I'm also kind of glad that the first time she drove it, she pressed the pedal a little hard and peeled out of our neighborhood... that seems to have intimidated her even more than the color. Now it's totally mine.

Oh yeah, my first "upgrade" so far was getting a set of Blizzaks so I can drive this winter (I'll save that discussion for a different thread) and she was not a fan of the purchase. I told her it was either a set of tires or we'd be carpooling together every day, and that seemed to change her mind... Guess she doesn't enjoy being with me all that much!
